Winefield's, Pre-sale tasting: Of course a mature bouquet, very smooth, round and super ripe, in the finish a bit too much decay, but overall a very nice effort from a modest vintage (the winner Pétrus in magnum?).

An easy evening with close friends PdV and FD (@ My place): Exceptional colour for a wine of this vintage and age; dark and red and hardly any brown. Expressive bouquet with cassis and liquorice and good oak. Good tannin. Full bodied and fresh. There is refinement, but the acidity is more like that of the northern Haut Medoc; firm. Impressive wine though for the vintage.
